Parallel imports are actually smuggled goods through informal channels. In contrast, parallel goods are “licensed”. Because of the high tariffs, parallel imports are generally cheaper than those listed through formal channels. Since there is no formal channel, the parallel goods will of course not have the warranty service of the licensed goods. For parallel inkjet printers, we can identify them from the following aspects.
Ask the price
At present, the price/performance ratio of the whole household inkjet printer has tended to be the same, and the prices of printers with similar performance are similar. For example, the basic price of Epson EPSON PHOTO-790 inkjet printer on the market is about 1,500 yuan, if some dealers want to sell it. 1000 yuan, then consumers should consider it, after all, the original printer from the dealer to the downstream distributors have not had such a big profit. Remember that the phrase people often say is "cheap and not good" is correct.
Look at the outer box
The inkjet printer outer packaging box of the regular channel is printed by the big factory, the process level is high, the color separation is accurate, and the writing is clear. Parallel imports are scanned by the original package and printed. This makes the color and pattern appear blurry. Especially the black and white on the white background, the color is reddish, and the difference is obvious. The Simplified Chinese logo is on the outer box of the genuine printer. Production origin, domestic distributor, product model. The logo on the outer packaging of the parallel goods is English or Traditional Chinese, and there is no domestic agent.
In this way, the consumer can initially identify it as genuine from the outer packaging. For those who have “recycling the outer packaging box of the licensed printer and then selling the parallel printer”, the consumer needs further verification, which is worth noting here. Yes, consumers should check carefully when opening the product packaging box to see if there are any traces of dismantling.
Look at the label
If you can't see the obvious difference from the outer packaging, then you can really distinguish the authenticity from the label. Consumers can dial the 800 free inquiry phone according to the anti-counterfeit label on the printer, and the authenticity of most genuine printers is a one-time use label, which cannot be used by the unscrupulous dealer for the second time. Consumers in the market see "parallel imports" printers without anti-counterfeiting labels.
Product inspection
The inner packaging of the original printer is more delicate. The laser anti-counterfeit label will be attached to the product. The back of the printer is printed with the product model, voltage, current, frequency, qualified number, and some qualified certification labels.
Ink cartridge
Genuine printers are equipped with original ink cartridges, and there is no original ink cartridges in parallel imports. Therefore, the identification of the true and false internal ink cartridges is also an effective means to verify the true body of the printer. For example, Epson's original ink cartridges are mainly sold in English or mixed in Chinese and English. If you find Japanese packaging, it must be parallel. Epson cartridges are generally light blue in color, and the edges of the text and graphics are blurry, especially when it is true or false. There must be anti-counterfeit laser labels on the Epson ink cartridges. The anti-counterfeit laser labels can see the words "EPSON" and "GENUINE" under the light, and the ESPON consumables product code is also attached to the ink cartridges, which can be queried by logging in to the manufacturer's website.
Manual and other
Regular printers are shipped with the Simplified Chinese version of the manual. Its cover is color printing, the whole manual is thicker, the content is very detailed, and the parallel manual is generally black and white cover, all in English, poor printing, only 20 pages, only a general introduction to the printer settings, no comprehensive.
Warranty Card
The Simplified Chinese warranty card in the genuine goods indicates: product name, origin, date of manufacture, code, warranty regulations, maintenance points, etc. Parallel imports do not have a warranty, so the internal warranty card is also shoddy, full of loopholes, more careful, it is not difficult to distinguish.
In fact, the identification of parallel printers can be summarized as follows: careful inquiries, careful comparison, careful business, careful inspection, careful receipt.
